52 Tips To Be Healthy
Week 21
By Jean Sumner
Schedule your semi-annual dentist appointment. Studies have linked poor oral health with a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes. To protect your oral health, resolve to practice good oral hygiene every day. For example:
Brush your teeth at least twice a day
Use toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush that fits your mouth comfortably
Consider using an electric or battery-operated toothbrush
Hold your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and brush with short back-and-forth motions
Remember to brush the inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth
Keep your tooth brush clean
Always rinse your toothbrush with water after brushing
Store your toothbrush in an upright position
Don't cover toothbrushes or store them in closed containers
Replace your toothbrush every three to four months.
Floss daily.
Eat a healthy diet and limit between-meal snacks
Quit smoking since it increases your risk for gum disease
There is a right way to brush and floss your teeth every day:
1. Gently brush your teeth on all sides with a soft-bristle brush and toothpaste.
2. Use small circular motions and short back-and-forth strokes.
3. Take the time to brush carefully and gently along the gum line.
4. Lightly brush your tongue to help keep your mouth clean.
5. You cannot reach the tight spaces between your teeth or under your gum line with a toothbrush. That is why daily flossing is important.
